Synopsis "No Longer Human "

Portraying himself as a failure, the protagonist of Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human narrates a seemingly normal life even while he feels himself incapable of understanding human beings. Oba Yozo's attempts to reconcile himself to the world around him begin in early childhood, continue through high school, where he becomes a "clown" to mask his alienation, and eventually lead to a failed suicide attempt as an adult. Without sentimentality, he records the casual cruelties of life and its fleeting moments of human connection and tenderness.

(Pseudonym of Tsushima Shuji; Kanagi, 1909 - Tokyo, 1948) Japanese writer. Born from the disillusionment prevalent in his country after the end of World War II, Osamu Dazai's last novels expressed the feelings of a generation that had witnessed the collapse of their traditional values: The Setting Sun (1947), perhaps his most famous work, focuses on the decline of the Japanese nobility after the defeat in the war, while his last book, No Longer Human (1948), narrates in an autobiographical tone the frustration over the national debacle. Known for his ironic and somber wit and the brilliant fantasy of his novels and stories, his obsession with suicide and his constant search for a deeper truth would make him a cult figure among the young readers of his country.
